SHGetFileInfo BUG

[Fred Hartshorn]

The following code causes the thread to exit at the close of the program with a -1. When run under the IDE (VCPP 5), either Debug or Release delays return to the editor for a second or so.


char pszPathname[] "C:\\My Documents");


SHFILEINFO shfi;


SHGetFileInfo(pszPathname, 0, &shfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO), \

SHGFI_SMALLICON | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX);


GetLastError() returns 18- ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES.


This occurs for any call for info on ANY file in the 'My Documents' directory.


Seems to be a MYDOCS.DLL but happens with Windows95 and 98.


Any ideas?


Thanks in advance,

Fred

// U-f-f-f-f.
// Really has something stupidity. And I dont know exactly what.
// This example is written on C++ Builder and works normally.

SHFILEINFO shfi;
DWORD hImageList;
DWORD LastError; // <- Hmmm
HICON MyIcon;
char *pszPathname = "C:\\My Documents"; // \\Diskcln.exe
try
{
hImageList = SHGetFileInfo(pszPathname, 0, &shfi, sizeof(SHFILEINFO),
SHGFI_SMALLICON | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX);

if (!hImageList)
ShowMessage("SHGetFileInfo fails");

MyIcon = ImageList_GetIcon((_IMAGELIST *)hImageList, shfi.iIcon, ILD_NORMAL);

Image1->Picture->Icon->Handle = MyIcon;
}
catch (...)
{
ShowMessage("Exception trown by SHGetFileInfo()!");
}

What about >

LPITEMIDLIST pidl;
HRESULT hRes;
SHFILEINFO shinfo;
LPITEMIDLIST itemlist;
			
//MyDocuments
hRes = SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(
				this->GetSafeHwnd(),
				CSIDL_PERSONAL,
				&pidl
				);
if (SUCCEEDED(hRes))
{
	VERIFY( SHGetFileInfo( (LPCSTR)pidl, NULL, 
							&shinfo, 
							sizeof(shinfo), 
							SHGFI_PIDL | SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_SMALLICON)
						);
			
	SHFILEINFO shinfo_sel;
	VERIFY( SHGetFileInfo( (LPCSTR)pidl, NULL, 
							&shinfo_sel, 
							sizeof(shinfo_sel), 
							SHGFI_PIDL | SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX | SHGFI_OPENICON | SHGFI_SMALLICON)
						);
etc...

To ensure to get the good path of MyDocuments folder ?

Best regards,
